ABOUT THE BAND

pin_drop Sydney, Australia

Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Sydney, Australia, Big Wheels is a powerhouse golden-rock duo crafting a timeless sound that seamlessly blends nostalgia with a fresh, contemporary edge.


Known for their unique blend of classic rock influences and the dynamic vocal force of Cass Ford and Lawson Doyle, Big Wheels has most recently returned from a sold out 11-date UK tour with Sofar Sounds.


The release of their debut single ‘Chain of Fire’ in early 2022 followed by the subsequent ‘All I Ever Wanna Do’ later that year sent the band onto a trail of both national and international recognition right off the bat, receiving airplay on BBC Introducing and a live studio performance on ABC’s tv series ‘Frankly’.


So far in 2023, Big Wheels has been turning even more heads locally, nationally and internationally, with their two latest releases ‘Colourblind’ and ‘Hurricane Therapy’ making waves on Triple J Home & Hosed, FBi Radio (NSW), Triple R (VIC) and most recently Paul Gallagher ‘Introduces’ Radio Show (UK). Their highly electric live show has secured some highly notable Australian support slots for San Cisco, Pacific Avenue, The Rions, DICE, Rum Jungle, The Pleasures and Lazy Ghost.


Formed against the backdrop of a sleepy suburb on the Sunshine Coast, Big Wheels came together in late 2021, driven by a shared love for the raw, emotive power of blues, rock 'n' roll and country music. The undeniable songwriting connection between Cass & Lawson exemplifies their combining yet conflicting perspectives on romance, ego, life and individuality, taking you down a rabbit hole of comforting relatability. Cass’ soulful and emotive delivery pairs seamlessly with Lawson’s raw and powerful vocals, creating a sonic tapestry that leaves a lasting impression.


With inspiration drawn from the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Oasis, Neil Young, and Jefferson Airplane, Big Wheels has carved out a distinct musical identity weaving together unforgettable melodies, lush harmonies, mesmerizing guitar work and lyrics that resonate with every aspect of life.
